Tripwire Interactive has showed the first of its upcoming sequel, Killing Floor 2, at New York Comic Con this weekend. The game features a slew of new improvements over the original, including some impressive new features. A member of the team from Tripwire Interactive demoed an alpha version of the game on the floor at NYCC. Throughout the gameplay presentation we saw four of the new perk trees that will be coming to the game, with gameplay from the Commando and Support...
We’ve been playing Bungie’s latest and greatest for a week now. Curious as to whether it’s worth your time? Read ahead to find out… Four years. Four long years. It has been this long since we have had our hands on anything created by the masterminds at Bungie, who we haven’t seen come from their shell since the last great Halo, Halo: Reach, hit store shelves on September 14th, 2010. Since that day, many years ago, much has changed: Bungie has...
With Dead Island: Epidemic, another franchise threw its hat into the multiplayer online battle arena and let the public watch as the non-disclosure agreement lifted on its Closed Beta earlier this month. Courtesy of Austin Griffith, I was able to get into the closed beta and spend some time with Dead Island: Epidemic, cutely abbreviated DI:E, and loved my zombie-filled island getaway. The competitive multiplayer formula in Dead Island: Epidemic is addicting. Dead Island:...
When I was preparing for PAX East a few weeks ago and deciding what games I would want to cover I received an e-mail from Cartoon Network Games listing the various releases they would be displaying. My eyes immediately jumped to Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake which I knew absolutely nothing about except that the name made me smile. Well, I can happily report that sometimes you can judge a game by its title, as Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is one of the most charming video...
Renegade Kid, developers of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS release Moon Chronicles, were on hand this last weekend at PAX East and I was able to get some hands-on time with the title as well as snag an interview with studio co-founder Gregg Hargrove. We discussed a bunch of games including Moon Chronicles, the Dementium series, as well as their upcoming Cult County which is currently being funded via Kickstarter. Moon Chronicles Episode One will released in May and from what...
Once in a long while a game comes along that’s the perfect mix of the old and new. In 2012, that game came in the form of Dennaton Games’ Hotline Miami which was highly praised for its tight gameplay and retro style. Now, two years later fans will get to revisit the brutally violent world that Dennaton has created. Taking place in the early 1990’s, Hotline Miami 2 puts you in the shoes of a group of fans of the first game’s events and as the trailers...
It’s 7 at night and the cold, windy streets of Downtown south Boston are unusually empty. While I’d been used to seeing blue behemoth-clad lanyards dangling around everyone’s neck, this area was different… it was more, normal. Not a single gamer was in site as LevelSave editor Matt Curione and I strolled in to Boston’s Royale Nightclub for Neumond Recording’s Pop Muzik Showcase. Something is weird about this place, though; as we enter the room our ears fill with...
The Evil Within, the long awaited new game from director Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks is looking to be a creep-fest of the highest order. Shinji Mikami, best known for directing the best entries in the Resident Evil franchise, is at it again with his new venture. If you haven’t been keeping up with the story, Mikami is once again in the director’s chair for what looks to be another classic horror experience in the making. From the demo on display...
Thanks to Bethesda, over the last month I’ve had the pleasure of entering the world of Tamriel for two weekends, through the Elder Scrolls Online beta of course. Many of the questions I had for ESO have been the same questions I’ve wondered of every MMO since my time in WoW and Aion. “Are there only fetch quests?” “Do the quests form boring and short story lines that don’t build upon the larger world” “Do I have to kill 3 dogs...
Hohokum is an intriguing and graceful indie adventure game being developed by Honeyslug, the makers of Frobisher Says! (not yelling at you, Frobisher Says! has an exclamation point in its name). In Hohokum you play as a small oval object with a long tail, Chris states what he though it was during This Game is Broken, and may not have been far off. But, Honeyslug clears up the confusion on their website by stating that you are a “flying serpent.” In...
